The Garmin inReach Messenger Plus is a compact SOS satellite communicator that keeps you connected beyond cell service. With an active subscription, it enables two-way text messaging, photo sharing, and 30-second voice messages through the Garmin Messenger app, so you can stay in touch with multiple contacts at once even in remote areas.

In an emergency, an interactive SOS message reaches Garmin Response, a 24/7-staffed international coordination center. Preset check-in phrases do not count against your monthly allotted texts, and the device automatically switches between Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite connections. Its rechargeable battery supports up to 25 days of use in 10-minute tracking mode and can provide safety charging to a depleted phone.
